    Bingo!
    Those are my thoughts, too.
    And we all know that bovine excrement makes thangs grow.
    Including noses.
    If it IS a plant that ONLY grows in California, it sure must be localized, and not a plant that grows wild in many areas.
    What are the chances of encountering a plant like that? :smt102

    NopE!
    I ain't buyin' that story. :biggrin_25512:

    Yes, he reached his 80K miles a few weeks ago, so he's good for the bonus. And yes, the bonus will help him with the low paychecks, but he won't get paid the bonus $$$ until 2 weeks after Dec 9 (his bonus date), so I guess he will get it as his Christmas gift.....LOL.

    Q: When is a bonus NOT a bonus?
    A: When it brings a paycheck up to where it should have been
    in the FIRST place.

    Smoke & Mirrors?
    Bait & Switch?

    Hmmmmmmmm

    Maybe he is allergic to all the pot plants that are grown out that way. When he gets near them they catch on fire and he feels the effects.

    I considered that possibility, until I remembered that
    marijuana grows in ALL 50 states.
    It ain't limited to just California.

    Not to be cynical, well, yes I am, but..... It appears they are trying to starve him out so he will quit, to keep from paying out the bonus.

    Someone a few weeks back on here said Covenant does that. We'll see if they do. He's not quitting, even if he has to live on peanut butter and crackers.:biggrin_25512: (or until he finds something better)

    <sigh>

    I see y'all are having fun with the allergy thang. OK I give up. I don't think it matters one way or the other if you know what it was. It's eucalyptus. So you can make of it what you will.

    I heard from Redcoat this evening. Their load was from Georgia to Chicago and then pick up one in Chicago going to Ohio. Redcoat is still working on his US geography. We have this thing we do when we talk to each other on the phone. After the hellos, he asks me how I've done (i.e. how many pictures have I sold for that day). And then I ask him where he is. Usually he hasn't a clue. Sometimes he knows the town but then I haven't a clue. Normally if you're in a podunk town, you say about which direction and a guesstimate of how many miles from a pretty good sized city. The map is in our heads. But Redcoat doesn't have that map in his head yet and so can't relate to where he is. So most of the time he's driving around without a sense of where he is in relation to where he's been and where he's going.

    I imagine that can probably be a little disconcerting sometimes.

    Anyway, so far so good. No issues yet.
